I saw others on other services using the code provided & was baffled! So now I know why.

Neever mind…

Thank You.

Thanks Rob….

Thanks for this! It looks great.

After taking a look through the selections, it appears the other name photographers all submitted photos that have appeared in print and are on their website, as I’m very familiar with them.

Good to know this for future reference b/c I would have loved to be included in the list.

This is why I rarely enter competitions, haha.

Thanks Rob.

I can’t release the B-List because all the images I rejected disappeared plus I deleted the group. You’re correct in assuming I probably missed a few gems. Maybe I’ll use photo rank’s digg feature to let everyone vote on one down the road.

Please understand this group represents photographers I’m interested in and willing to endorse to a group of art buyers and photo editors. There will be other opportunities with different judges not far down the road but it’s important this first time that people will trust when I send them a link it has value to them.

As you may have guessed, I did not make the cut :)

Also, as some people have already pointed out, I am a little a confused as to who the slide show was intended to represent. If you have a nice selection of A list stars in the bag already, do you really need to be “discovered”?

It would be really cool for you to do a B-list, with people who you think either have potential, or are all ready “there”, but have not been offered any work. I’m not saying I would even make the B-list, but it might be nice for us “aspiring” shooters to have a stepping stone to look at, as opposed to being shown a list of people who have all ready crossed the river.

It’s interesting there are so many images here that I never saw a week ago. Did you add some?

I also wanted to ask why someone like Sam Jones would be in this. Perhaps I am confused about the criteria for submitting, but I thought it was for discovering new talent and putting that work in front of editors and buyers. When I see Sam’s beautiful work, and know that he’s shooting A list celebrities for all the top magazines, and know that he’s directed films, I would imagine he’s already got loads of connections.

for those who haven’t seen his stuff, sam jones is here:

My only feedback on the slideshow is as follows:

1.) Singles vs. set
I would have probably chosen my images slightly differently if I had known that only one would be chosen and displayed from the set submitted. I totally understand your reasoning (pace), but would loved to have known earlier.

2.) Slideshow thumbnails
They are so small they’re virtually useless on a screen resolutions likely used by the target audience. (>1280×800 pxls.) And for some reason, they’re all jammed to the left and only using half the available space for thumbnails. (Is this just my browser?)

3.) Image quality on full-screen version
It looks like Flickr’s engine downsampled the imagery for the regular, embedded slideshow, then upsampled them (poorly) for the full-screen version. We submitted the images at a full 1024 x 768, but the full screen images look like they were scaled up from something much, much smaller.

Again, thrilled to be a participant. So thanks again.

(these are the times when not everyone has time to watch the show entirely so I just adjusted time to 1 second :D great option by the way)
